Women in the Bahai Faith

Meer over het boek

The Bahá'í Faith emphasizes the essential equality of men and women as a foundation for global unification and peace, advocating for this principle in various aspects of life. It recognizes gender distinctions while promoting spiritual and social equality, allowing women to hold numerous positions within the faith. However, there is a notable exception, as women are not permitted to serve on the Universal House of Justice, the highest governing body of the Bahá'í Faith, highlighting a nuanced approach to gender roles within the community.
